Cover: Mostly Fifteen by Taylor Denison

I'm on the computer at last, lovelies!

He's fifteen, forty-one, and twenty-seven all at once-- at least, in terms of his personality.

But mostly fifteen.

Tyler isn't human, as far as he can tell. He has a patch of scales on his right shoulder, another set of arms at his sides. He really is quite peculiar. Barely managing a high-school for gifted students, and hiding both his scales and extra arms, he's constantly wondering why he's so different. His parents would know-- if only they were still alive.

After staying at the house of another girl, Florence Walters, for all of his first year of high school, Tyler realizes that she isn't so different from him.

Eagerly, he asks her parents about his deformities, only to receive an answer that makes Tyler realize that he has to leave immediately.

With Florence.

Cover: Merlin's Creed by Marissa Rogers

Arthurian Legends are coming true in modern day Chicago. Merlin is a 16-year-old orphan who is receiving intense training in her use of magic... so intense that it is beginning to chip away at her sanity. Her tutor is a prejudiced fairy who is training her to become a weapon against the daemons that have threatened to invade the Fairy Kingdom. She has formed a romantic attachment to the Uther character, High Lord over the daemons, and she is caught between worlds, between friends, and she has little or no control over her magical abilities so that she is continually hurting those she loves as she struggles to find her place.

I had a lot of trouble with this, but it was fun :) First I did a cutout of the girl photo (which is really lovely, BTW) on Pixlr Editor. I couldn't cut out a few of those black grains, so I left them and decided they would look like "magic". The overall effect of that turned out nice. Then I had to deal with the city photo - this went from Pixlr Express to PicMonkey, where I added the banner. The text I did in Google Creative Kit. I hope this works okay!

Lily's life is turned upside-down when she has to move to Paris. But it's about to get even weirder. She finds out that she's magical. And that a dark force is threatening to destroy Paris, all to get the mortals to work for them. Lily's part of a team of half-spirits called together to defeat the force. But it won't be easy...
